Lionel Messi is favorite with the bookmakers to win yet another Ballon d'Or award later this year - despite Manchester City striker Erling Haaland's record-breaking season in the Premier League.
Via Odds Checker, Messi is currently priced at -303 (1-3) to claim a record eighth Ballon d'Or - the prize given to the best player in world soccer over the course of the year as voted for by coaches, captains and journalists across the globe.
The Argentina captain, who has made a breathtaking start to his Inter Miami career over the past month, leads Haaland by some distance with the bookies after scoring 10 goals in his first seven matches for the American team.
